A sedan with sinuous lines, without edges, sculpted by air. This is the new sedan designed by Aehra, and after the SUV its second model, which was presented at MiMo, at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, and which will reportedly go into production from 2025. Aehra’s new model is based on the same electric platform as the SUV. While sharing the same styling language and surface treatment, the saloon has a different ‘personality’ compared to the high-wheel model, thanks to a design that is explicitly and clearly expressed in the front and rear of the car.
Compared to the SUV, the design team led by Filippo Perini has ‘stretched’ the lines and volumes of the model, exploiting the single-body concept even more. The result is a vehicle with an improved ratio of passenger compartment to shoulders in the wheel arches, which gives a more muscular appearance and where sportiness is evident. “Seen in profile,” explains Filippo Perini, “the car is an uninterrupted line where edges are almost absent. A play of light and shadow sculpts its appearance. The upper half represents a pure, linear form that flows elegantly from the bonnet to the windscreen and on to the roofline. We deliberately created a very fluid line, almost like that of an aircraft. You get the feeling that the Sedan glides effortlessly through the air with great efficiency, even when it is stationary.
Great care has been taken in the choice of materials, on the one hand in continuity with those already adopted on the SUV, and on the other with some novelties related to the colours and in particular the tyre rims. The latter will have a sportier design, with the rims changed from 5-spoke for the SUV to 7 for the saloon. The result is reminiscent of a turbine, with a carbon application that helps clean the flow to ensure greater aerodynamics. A saloon that, according to Filippo Perini, embodies “an idea of luxury declined to favour functionality. There is nothing baroque or useless about it, nothing that can be reduced to mere ostentation. It is a more refined, minimalist concept of luxury, I would almost say an Italian luxury, which has already been expressed in our country in the past and we want to follow this tradition. We want to leave the customer with a sense of cleanliness of form and interior”.
